A while ago, I was babysitting and the little girl, stacie, came running up to me and said 'The Princess of Wales has died?' I told her yes, it was quite the tragedy and she asked me why everyone was making a big deal about it. Then she promptly pulled out a map and pointed to the little island of Wales off of Canada and said: 'That island's small! It ain't even fit for me'. Of course, I had to show her where Wales really was and even then she didn't believe me! Ah, kids :)
